Cloudsmith Command-Line Interface (CLI)

The Cloudsmith Command Line Interface (CLI) is a Py2/Py3 text-based interface to the API. This allows users, machines and other services to access and integrate smoothly with Cloudsmith without requiring explicit plugins or tools. Be awesome. Automate Everything.

The following (very out of date) GIF demonstrates a small slice of the CLI - View the full video on YouTube:

You can also read our blog article that introduced the first version of the CLI and the Cloudsmith RESTful API.

Installation

You can install the latest CLI application from:

• Official CLI Repository @ PyPi

• Official CLI Repository @ Cloudsmith

The simplest way is to use pip, such as:

pip install --upgrade cloudsmith-cli

Or you can get the latest pre-release version from Cloudsmith:

pip install --upgrade cloudsmith-cli --extra-index-url=https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/cloudsmith/cli/python/index/

Configuration

There are two configuration files used by the CLI:

• config.ini: For non-credentials configuration.

• credentials.ini: For credentials (authentication) configuration.

By default, the CLI will look for these in the following locations:

• The current working directory.

• A directory called cloudsmith in the OS-defined application directory. For example:

• Linux: $HOME/.config/cloudsmith

  • Windows: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\cloudsmith

Both configuration files use the simple INI format, such as:

[default]
api_key=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Non-Credentials (config.ini)

See the default config in GitHub:

You can specify the following configuration options:

• api_host: The API host to connect to.

• api_proxy: The API proxy to connect through.

• api_user_agent: The user agent to use for requests.

Credentials (credentials.ini)

See the default config in GitHub:

You can specify the following configuration options:

• api_key: The API key for authenticating with the API.

Getting Your API Key

You’ll need to provide authentication to Cloudsmith for any CLI actions that result in accessing private data or making changes to resources (such as pushing a new package to a repository)..

With the CLI this is simple to do. You can retrieve your API key using the cloudsmith token command:

cloudsmith token
Login: [e-mail]
Password:
Repeat for confirmation:

Note: Please ensure you use your email for the ‘Login’ prompt and not your user slug/identifier.

The resulting output looks something like:

Retrieving API token for '[e-mail]' ... OK
Your API token is: 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Once you have your API key you can then put this into your credentials.ini, use it as an environment variable export CLOUDSMITH_API_KEY=your_key_here or pass it to the CLI using the -k your_key_here flag.

For convenience the CLI will ask you if you want to install the default configuration files, complete with your API key, if they don’t already exist. Say ‘y’ or ‘yes’ to create the configuration files.

If the configuration files already exist, you’ll have to manually put the API key into the configuration files, but the CLI will print out their locations.

Examples

Note: All of the examples in this section are uploading to the lskillen user and the test repository. Please replace these with your own user/org and repository names.

Upload a Debian Package

Assuming you have a package filename libxml2-2.9.4-2.x86_64.deb, representing libxml 2.9.4, for the Ubuntu 16.04 distribution (which has a cloudsmith identifier of ubuntu/xenial):

cloudsmith push deb lskillen/test/ubuntu/xenial libxml2-2.9.4-2.x86_64.deb

Upload a RedHat Package

Assuming you have a package filename libxml2-2.9.4-2.el5.x86_64.rpm, representing libxml 2.9.4, for the RedHat Enterprise 5.0 distribution (which has a cloudsmith identifier of el/5):

cloudsmith push rpm lskillen/test/el/5 libxml2-2.9.4-2.el5.x86_64.rpm

Upload a Python Package

Assuming you have a package filename boto3-1.4.4.py2.p3-none-any.whl, representing boto3 1.4.4, for Python 2/3:
